∙ 12y agoi guess it depends on where you are located. If you're located near one of the poles, a noon shadow could be very long, especially if the days are short and the sun is near setting.

Is it more dangerous for automobile owners to put too much air in the tires in summer or in winter?
It is dangerous to over inflate tires at the end of winter because they could be damaged more easily. Over inflated tires can be damaged going over potholes or leftover debris in the roadways.
What would be the life of human beings if there were no lights?
People could not work at night, or in places with no lights (underground mines, tunnels). Our lives would come to a stop at dark. In winter months, our days would be very short, but longer in summer. It would be very hard for ships and airplanes to navigate with no beacons or light houses. Doctors and dentists would have to use mirrors to examine their patients. Now, if you still had oil lamps and lanterns, some of that could be overcome- but there would be an increase in the number of fires, since lamps used a flame- and flammable fuels.
How many day did it rain?
This is entirely dependent on WHERE you ask this question. In the Southern hemisphere, it would be fall going into winter which may be totally different than the spring/summer of the Northern hemisphere.
How many days are there till the end of winter?
For any given point on Earth, the length of winter daytimes is just slightly longer than the length of summer nighttimes. So if the longest daytime where you live is 15 hours, the shortest daytime is 9 hours, and if the longest daytime there is 14 hours, the shortest daytime is 10 hours, and so on. (The correlation between winter days and summer nights would be exactly the same if not for refraction caused by the atmosphere making the sun visible when it's actually a little below the horizon. That's why the length of daytime on the equinoxes is not exactly 12 hours.) Exception: Daytime at the north pole is about 7½ days longer than nighttime at the north pole, and nighttime at the south pole is about 7½ days longer than daytime at the south pole. This is because Earth travels fastest in its orbit when it's closest to the sun, which happens in early January, and it travels slowest when it's farthest from the sun, which happens in early July.
Which would be longer on your planet your planet your days or nights to earth?
Days are longer than nights in the summer, and the reverse in the winter.
What happens to the length of your shad ow in winter vrs summer?
In the summer - or more specifically, on the summer solstice (June 21 in the northern hemisphere, December 21 in the southern hemisphere) the noon Sun is as high in the sky as it will get. If the Sun were directly overhead, you would cast no shadow at all. As summer progresses into fall, the noon Sun will be lower and lower in the sky until the winter solstice, when the noon Sun is low in the sky, and the noon shadows will be longer.
What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
Does hair grow longer in length in the winter or summer?
I think its summer. As stated, the question is really in the realm of psychology or social psychology. Do people tend to let their hair grow longer during one season or another? My first guess would be that if we measured average hair length during different seasons it would be slightly longer in the winter.
Why summer lasts two days longer?
Earth's orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle; rather, it is an elipse. In winter (the northern winter; in the southern hemisphere this would be the summer), Earth is closer to the Sun, and moves faster.
